Hello,
Hi,
I'm trying to configure BIND for a local DNS server, but I'm not sure that it's ok.
Based on your other comments, it seems as if there is more of a question about overall DNS configuration and operation than about the BIND DNS server (named) itself.
Basically, I'm wanting to create an internal address like intranet.local,
Okay.
this way, I can change the internal IP address, without the obligation to reconfigure the client machines to lookup the new IP, only changing the DNS lookup table.
It sounds like you might be referring to updating DNS vs updating the hosts file.
First, I had followed the Gentoo Wiki and after I tried BIND official documentation.
ACK
I've realized the network PC's did not find the DNS address, only the localhost can find it,
I'm assuming that means the server running BIND (named).
when I force the DNS, the client PC cannot access the internet anymore.
I'm assuming that means that BIND (named) is working and doing what you want with regard to the local / internal domain name.
With these assumptions, it seems to me like BIND (named) is working and that it is likely not configured to allow clients to perform recursive queries.
Assuming this is the case, you need to change the allow-recursion parameter to allow the LAN clients to perform recursive queries.
This is predicated on the system BIND (named) is running on being able to access the internet to query external resources on behalf of the LAN clients.
If someone knows a guide to help, I'll be glad to know.
Please reply if any of my assumptions are wrong or if you have other questions.
Thanks.
